This past winter I found two night stands on
Craigslist.The woman selling these
wanted $40.00 for both of them.I
offered her $30.00; she accepted my offer but didn’t have change for my two
twenties.The woman wanted me to follow
her husband several miles to a local convenience store for change.My response to the young lady, “well I really
don’t need them that bad” (in actuality I had no intention of following a
stranger to another location).And for
the heck of it, I asked would you take $20.00 for both.Within a heart beat the young lady jumped on
my offer.I gave her the $20.00, loaded
the night stands in my truck, and left with a smile on my face. My plan was to clean both of these up and
paint them to match the dressers in the master bedroom.

Bulldog Man wanted me to wait until it was nice and
dry out before sanding, cleaning, and painting the night stands.It’s that time, I’ve pulled both night stands
out to the back porch, and started to sand them down.I need to scrape the inside of each drawer
with a razor and then wipe down everything really good before painting.In the next several days I will start
painting these night stands, I hope they come out okay; at least good enough to
take pictures and post the final product on my blog.Wish me luck!!!

While watering the garden this evening I noticed
several asparagus stems popping up from the ground.I wasn’t expecting any vegetable until next
year this time frame.Boy was I
surprised!!!

*****

Several of my blogger friends ask me to post
pictures of the sail we hung to help with reducing the sun and heat on the
porch.Here it is; we found it at Home
Depot for $26 and change.In time the
wrinkles will go away.I’ve noticed a
difference on the patio immediately after hanging it.

We also hung a hummingbird feeder, two weeks ago was
the first time I had seen a hummingbird where we live.Now that I know they’re in the area, I want
to be able to attract many more. Bulldog Man and I invested in a glass feeder
and I mixed up a recipe of sweetened water for them (1 part sugar to 4 parts
water; boil water 1 – 2 minutes once sugar has dissolved, take off burner, let
water cool, and then place in feeder).

I have several BBQ’s to go to this weekend, next week I will tell you about them; do you
have plans for the weekend?

Hi Sandy, sure looks like some nice night stands! Can't wait to see what you do with them. Wow, your asparagus is looking good. I bet you couldn't wait to taste it. Love your sail that it's s really neat idea. We get some hummingbirds here, too. And I love the fact that we can make the food for them. They always seem to excite me when I see one. Something about them just seems so enchanting! Hope you all are doing great!! Evening looksso great! Blessings, Susie

I think those two night stands are going to be very attractive when you get done with them. A very classic, attractive style.

Our hummingbirds usually arrive around the 15th of May but were a couple of weeks late this year, probably because of our very cold spring and early summer. But now they are dive bombing the two feeders every day.

Trying to get things ready this weekend of relatives (9 of them!) coming for a visit next week.
